Ga. Senate passes bill barring texting while driving
Yesterday, the Georgia Senate passed a bill banning texting while driving. The bill, which now moves to the House, would slap offenders with a $150 fine. Teen offenders would lose their license if caught breaking the law more than once. According to this AJC article by my former colleague, Ernie Suggs, family members and friends of Caleb Sorohan watched the bill’s passage at the Georgia General Assembly. Sorohan was a Morgan County high school student killed in a crash that happened while he was texting. Since then, the article states, more than 700 students at Sorohan’s school pledged not to text while driving.
